Being a Batanggenya, I love anything cooked in coconut milk. I especially love Guinataang Kuhol, but I don't know how to cook it. So last weekend, when I saw my mother-in-law washing these kuhol she bought, I immediately grabbed my camera to document and learn how to cook Guinataang Kuhol.

Below is the complete step by step illustrated guide on how to cook it.

The first step in cooking this dish is to break the bottom of the shells using a knife handle or a hammer. Then, wash thoroughly until all the sediments are gone and the water is clear. Then heat the coconut milk with ginger, garlic and onion and bring to a boil. Put the Kuhol and let boil for 2 minutes. Then put the malunggay leaves (you can also use Kangkong) to the boiling pot and simmer for 1 minute. Then serve hot with rice.

I wanted to put chilies but my mother in law said the kids wont be able to eat it. So we just dipped the Kuhol to a mixture of vinegar, onions, pepper and chilies. It was delicious!
